Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger is quietly undoing all of the rules created by her Republican predecessor Glen Youngkin, regarding biological males competing in girls’ sports.
Virginia voters were warned that this would happen. Spanberger ran as a sort of middle-of-the-road candidate, but the minute she got into office, she revealed herself to be a creature of the far left.
This is a metaphor for the entire Democrat Party. The instant they regain any sort of power, they will pick up right where they left off in the fall of 2024.

Spanberger sparks outrage after sneakily ending Youngkin-era women’s sports protections
Critics, including parents of athletes, expressed outrage Friday after Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s administration quietly shut down a rulemaking process that would have required school sports to be divided by sex.
The move to end protections for scholastic sports based on sex is the latest development in the debate over whether biological males who identify as transgender should compete in girls’ sports.
“My jaw dropped when I saw the news,” former Del. Kim Taylor, R-Petersburg, told Fox News Digital on Friday. “As a mom of a daughter, I’m furious that protecting the privacy, safety, and opportunities of Virginia’s girls has somehow become controversial.”
“Governor Spanberger had a chance to stand up for women and girls, and instead she turned her back. Our daughters should never be asked to sacrifice their privacy or a fair playing field for someone else’s political agenda.”
Taylor focused on maternal and children’s issues during her time in Richmond and was the target of an assassination threat during her unsuccessful re-election bid last year.
Del. Wren Williams, R-Stuart, called the move “classic Spanberger.”
“Say one thing, do another, don’t tell anyone, and ignore them if they ask about it,” he told Fox News Digital.

Democrats have made it quite clear that they do not care what the public thinks on this particular issue.
They will go right back to this at their first opportunity. Count on it.
